We have been outcoached by every opponent over at least the last two years.  It is so sad to watch some of these kids play their hearts out with a coaching staff so inept. 

It's also disheartening to see a few key players lay down and still see the majority of snaps.  I maintain this is a talented team which is terribly coached. 

Get on with the coaching search and cross your fingers that we do not have a ton of attrition.

That they keep insisting on calling bootlegs for Gardner is I think the dumbest thing about this coaching staff that involves 11 people being on the field.  Bootlegs work when people are terrified of your RB and not your QB running (see: Griese, Brian), when the opposite is true they're invitations for sacks.

Respectfully, Jerry Kill is better than a lot of coaches. He has moved Minn far ahead of where it was and, far ahead of us.

Jerry Kill is, not surprisingly a better coach, Minnesotas players are also better. Maybe not as " highly ranked" as recruits, but clearly bring it much more consistently than our players.

I know he is a better coach. I don't think any elaboration is needed. Just use your mind to ponder the fact that Minnesota hired a better coach than Michigan did and is trending upwards. Kill is developing 2 and 3 star kids and competing more successfully than we are with all of our so called advantages.

Could there be a plan in the works? Michigan must nail the next coaching hire to keep the stadium full, so this is my guess as to what is going on; Hackett announced today he will evaluate hoke at the end of the year and make a coaching change if needed. Any top coach would not accept the coaching job not knowing who their boss will be, right? I think Harbaugh will be the next coach (otherwise he would have already stopped the rumors). Of course he has conditions to his employment (because he can) and one of those conditions is to sit in on the team that hires the next AD. Not only will Michigan get their #1 coaching choice, but Harbaugh will have the control he wants/needs to be successful.

Well, at least now it’s pretty much official, Brady is done. I don‘t think a victory over OSU next week can even save his job. Yes, I said a victory over OSU. What's so funny?

Don’t laugh, I’ve seen many surprises in the rivalry.

STOP LAUGHING!!

One year I remember when Michigan…

Okay, forget it. If you all gone keep laughing, then I might as well not finish what I was gone say.
